Chapter 156: Chapter 155: Annihilating the Black Market

Zhao Chi touched the Shirt.

Tang Ruan also couldn’t help but marvel at it.

"Stop marveling at it. This Shirt is for you. Go ahead and try it on."

"Huh? For me? But this is such nice clothing..."

"It’s fine. You’re our territory’s meat shield. Naturally, you should be the first one to wear clothing that increases Defense."

"Hehe, well, I won’t be polite then! Thank you, My Lord."

"You’re welcome."

Tang Ruan gently took off her Cloth Clothing and put on the ladies’ Shirt.

Tang Ruan didn’t need to say anything.

Zhao Chi could feel the softness of the clothing himself through the sensation on Tang Ruan’s skin.

It was a little cool when she first put it on.

But as soon as it made contact with her body, its temperature immediately rose.

It quickly became very warm.

Moreover, since the main Material was a large amount of Gu Qing’s Silk,

the Shirt had excellent elasticity.

If you pulled on it hard, it would deform severely, but as soon as you let go, it would return to its original shape.

This type of fashion also had a certain degree of self-adjustment.

Tang Ruan had a petite figure.

Her waist was slender, but her bust was large.

After she put on the clothes, they automatically adapted to her body type.

The waistline tightened, while the chest area loosened slightly.

But even so, it still looked stretched taut on Tang Ruan.

There was nothing to be done about it.

The self-adjustment only worked within a small range.

Tang Ruan’s large E-cups were beyond the scope of its automatic adjustment.

Fortunately, the Material’s elasticity was excellent, and Tang Ruan could stretch it out.

And it wasn’t constricting.

Tang Ruan lowered her head, constantly looking herself over, front and back.

She turned her head to look, twisted her waist to look.

It was a pity Zhao Chi’s room didn’t have a mirror, or else she would have spent an hour looking at herself.

Zhao Chi didn’t pay her any mind.

He let her enjoy the moment.

Regrettably, however, the Shirt didn’t increase her Hero Attributes. It only increased Tang Ruan’s Sewing Skills by 5 points.

After all, Tang Ruan’s Sewing Skills were currently the highest, so the clothing defaulted to boosting that.

’Oh well.’

’That was to be expected.’

’This is fine, too.’

Soon, Tang Ruan finished her smiling inspection.

"My Lord, this Shirt is really nice. What do you think?"

"It suits you well. It accentuates your figure perfectly."

"Hehe, really? Now that you say that, I like it even more."

"I’m glad you like it. Now that we know how to make this kind of clothing, we can have as many as we want in the future."

"That’s right! Hehe, I have 5 points in basic Sewing Skills now, too. Thank you for letting me make clothes with you."

"Don’t mention it. Shall we continue? We’ll be making Silk Stockings this time, though."

"Okay! I’ll do anything. As long as it raises my Professional Skills. I’ll tell you another joke; I just heard a new one."

The two entered crafting mode.

This time, the two of them still worked together in perfect sync.

Zhao Chi was in charge of crafting, while Tang Ruan was in charge of cheering him on and chatting.

By 9 PM that evening, they had used 60 Speeding Charms and produced 158 pairs of crude Silk Stockings.

As their technique became more proficient, they made 8 more pairs than yesterday.

The 60 Speeding Charms also brought 2 points in Professional Skills and Specialization.

It was getting late.

Zhao Chi planned to set out immediately to exchange the goods for money.

After returning to the territory, Zhao Chi immediately set off, driving Gu Qing.

He estimated that Wanyan probably wouldn’t have enough money again today.

As expected, he was right.

The first thing Wanyan said upon seeing Gu Qing was, "I’ll go get the money. We can trade in 30 minutes."

Zhao Chi continued to browse the goods at the Exchange for the day.

Unfortunately, he didn’t find an Improvement Book for the Shirt.

But he did see a suitable Skill Book.

As he was looking at it, Wanyan suddenly rushed in from outside.

Zhao Chi couldn’t help but chuckle. "It’s barely been 20 minutes. Why did you come chasing after me?"

But Wanyan looked anxious.

"Trade first."

"Oh, okay."

The 158 pairs of Silk Stockings should have sold for 316 Gold Coins.

But Wanyan put 500 Gold Coins directly into the trade window.

Zhao Chi asked, puzzled, "Manager Wan, you put in too much. Is this an advance payment?"

Wanyan moved closer and whispered, "Don’t worry about it. Everyone loves your fashion items. I’m giving you a little extra today as encouragement. I hope we’ll have a chance to work together again. Something seems wrong outside. The people inside just gave me a warning."

Zhao Chi immediately clicked to confirm.

"What’s going on? Has this black market been exposed?"

Wanyan shook her head. "I’m not sure, but my contacts inside told me to keep a low profile for a couple of days. Don’t come back for the next two days. Buy what you need today and leave quickly. Be careful on the road."

After speaking, Wanyan rushed off without giving Zhao Chi a chance to ask any more questions.

Zhao Chi had a bad feeling.

He immediately purchased the Skill Book he had just been looking at.

Then, with no time to go anywhere else, he bought a large quantity of Rare Materials for making Shirts, along with some other materials and Speeding Charms.

At that moment, chaos erupted outside.

The sound of an explosion rang out.

The entire Exchange fell into absolute silence for a second.

The next second, half of the people there vanished instantly.

They had all teleported away.

The other half rushed outside to see what was happening.

"My Lord, we have to go!"

Zhao Chi also understood that the situation was bad.

He immediately clicked to return.

After a moment of slight dizziness, he was hit by a familiar stench.

He had teleported to the side of the septic tank.

"My Lord, look out!"

Gu Qing directly seized control from Zhao Chi, dodging an Arrow that was flying right at them.

Zhao Chi glanced around hurriedly and saw they were surrounded by soldiers in Black Armor.

The Black Armored Soldiers of Zone 7.

These Soldiers were not nobles.

They were the nobles’ subordinates.

You could also call them their most loyal lackeys.

They were the ones who usually threw their weight around.

If it were only these Black Armored Soldiers, things might have been manageable.

But behind the Soldiers, Zhao Chi saw the nobles clad in Golden Soft Armor.

There were seven of them in total, surrounding him from all directions.

They were frowning and pinching their noses.

But they let out cold, mocking laughter.

"Excellent. Another rat has appeared. Good, capture it!"

Only then did Zhao Chi notice that dozens of people were already firmly under their control, completely unable to escape.

Those people were also wearing Cloaks and masks.

Zhao Chi didn’t know who they were, but he knew one thing: they were finished.

"Yes, My Lord!"

A dozen or so Soldiers charged forward.

They moved with Fierce Momentum, their actions swift.

A single glance was enough to tell they were formidable.

Zhao Chi quickly surveyed his surroundings, assessing the situation.

He immediately gave an order to Gu Qing:

"Gu Qing, use Genetic Enhancement!"

"Understood!"

"After you use it, don’t fight. Escape quickly through the gap to the northeast. Once you’ve shaken them off, head west back to the village."

"Roger!"

The two communicated mentally, the information exchanged almost instantly.

Gu Qing immediately activated a point of Genetic Energy.

In an instant, the Genetic Energy she had once absorbed erupted.

Her lower abdomen grew hot and swelled.

It was as if she had returned to that moment before, being constantly infused with powerful Energy by Zhao Chi.

At that moment, all of her Basic Attributes simultaneously increased by 2 points, all of them becoming 9.

Constitution, Power, agility, and Intelligence—all her Attributes were now at the level of a world champion.

But it wasn’t over.

"I’m going to use Paradise Fury on you! Brace yourself!"

"Understood!"

Almost simultaneously,

Zhao Chi clicked to consume the Energy of Paradise Fury, selecting Gu Qing as the target.

That surging feeling descended upon her once again.

Gu Qing’s eyes glazed over.

Her legs went weak, and she nearly knelt on the ground.

But she fought to suppress her body’s reaction.

She felt her power skyrocketing.

Though her legs were now sore and weak,

though her whole body trembled uncontrollably, as if an electric current were passing through it,

she was stronger than ever before.

This Paradise Fury had once again increased all her Attributes by 1, directly pushing all of Gu Qing’s Attributes to 10 points.

All Attributes at 10 points!
